I haven't really seen a new cut yet, just made some minor changes for the cut that will go to the composer.
On a different note, we have a new trailer!
The song is called 'Handful Savants' by a local band called Cue: http://www.cueaustin.com/

The Rough Cut
If you had told me 8 hours ago that I would be this happy at the end of the day, I would definitely not believe you. Flashback to 4 PM...
I had been working on homework for 4 hours...which is, as you can imagine, my favorite thing to do on the weekends. In between assignments, I was looking everywhere I could think of for a tape containing a scene that was not on the computer. The tapes and main harddrive were with the editor, and we spent most of the afternoon calling/texting back and forth trying to locate the tape.
I didn't want to think of the option that the tape was lost- the scene took place at what might have been the most difficult location to find, and involved an actor that lived out of town. If it was necessary, we would reshoot it because it is a critical scene- plus it kind of reveals a twist.
Fast forward to 7:00. Harrison, the editor, had finished the rough cut without the scene and came over to show it to me. While we watched the cut, my mom looked through a few of the tapes just to make sure the scene wasn't on one of them...and...there it was. YES.
Even though that was a huge sigh of relief, that wasn't the best thing nor the biggest relief of the night.
The rough cut was great. I was unbelievably impressed by the acting, lighting, sound, and last but most definitely not least- the editing. Gordon and Harrison did an amazing job with the cut in a very short amount of time. I hope this movie will be something that all of the 'departments' will be proud of when it's 100% finished.
Speaking of completely finished, here's what is left until we get to that point:
1) A bit of sound editing.
2) Some Color correction.
3) Adding some transitions.
4) Cut the scene we reshot the other day.
5) Recut the montage.
6) Titles.
7. Music.
It looks like a long list, but the next cut of the movie should be finished tomorrow- so that should eliminate the cutting together of scenes and transitions.
I will update the blog when I see the next cut.
